ok i didn't catch this one however did find it under my bin while doing the good house husbane thing and doing the lawns today i even was able to get the tape on this one to make it offical

I would think that they wouldn't fight much in the water but been told they do all their fighting once in the boat

anywhere up river form beachwood

yeh fish both the manning and the macleay river for the bass and only on the odd occasiong the hastings i been fishing near telegraph point for the last two days and have only manageed one bgream of about 33cm and heaps of droped fish and also a few flatties (think i missed one today that would of been over the 80cm mark, didn't get to see it but it fought like a flattie and spat the hook just after i managed to turns its head) so it seems i may need to start fishing the freash waters to catch my bream at this rate

wondering what record this one would of fell under

yes they sure are nice fish in even nicer country (geez i love the country! haha city boys ) up the forunt i have one sounder that is run down the leg of the electric motor and mounted on the houseing and also another sound down the back mounted the normal way yes the mullet did fall for a gulp and was funny as both of us were only talking about mullets on plastics that morning with me saying that they are not unheard of but sure don't see too many of them happening i myself have caught two mullet one on a small diver while fishing for bass and another on a red run squidgy plastic while fishing for bream mind you thats two mullet and countless bream and bass and a gillion casts

yeh the bream were VERY yellow in the daylight and sure didn't look like the silver scales like i'm used to all we put it down to was that they just changed coulor in the freash however i would like to know the best way of ruleing them out as black bream (don't think we have blacks this far up but you never know) the plastic that did most of the damage was a 2ich gulp in punkinseed

me and a mate headed up river here on the mid north coast yesterday chaseing some Bass was met with a chill and a drizzel but we were desprate (to destrate as at the ramp we both thought each other had put the bungs in) well after the half hour pump from the bilge to get us dry again we headed off looking for some bass Bass played it pretty quite while we were plauged with the bream that were liveing in the freash water and my mate also hooked and got to the boat a mullet of about 2kg (yes hooked in the mouth and taken on the retrive) after midday the bass started to come on (for my mate!)with my mate getting a few nice ones rangeing from 33cm to the fork to 44cm to the fork my best was only 41 to the fork all up for the day we managed between us 11 bass 7 bream including one double hook up and one lonley mullet

no found a last minute job down here that will do for the time being so hopefuly i woun't need to move for a while yet misses love the fact we are only a few streets from the water and five mins to the beaches

thanks to all i have only fished the nambucca river one and while it didn't fire for me still looked the good and i must get back up there this summer i'm sure lucky to live in the area i do as it isn't uncommon for flathead this size to be taken i love catching both bream and bass on plastics but these big flathead sure come close

mid north coast nsw

yeh sorry about that i was just going by a few of the other post, doesn't bother men anyway as i never go chaseing record i just love catching and chaseing them flathead did give a pretty good account for it's self and the only shame was they on only packed the 1kg stick away a few casts before hand ohwell i'm sure i will get another one onedat like that on the 1kg gear and sure it will be one of the best buzzes i will have

yep i have caught on ot two on the pastics while chaseinf bream and bass sure wish some of the other fish would fight like a mullet but hey what they lack in eating they make up for being the gun crab bait caught the one below from my kayak while chaseing bream in the canals and gave a very good acount of it's self and a nice clean hard fight

heres my first post on this site and i will start with the flathead i caught earliry this year up on the mid north coast NSW on a 1/16 squidgy finess jig and a 3inch blue pearl bass minnow fish when 83cm and not sure about the weight caught on 6lb fireline and 12lb siglon leader all sitting on a 2500 stradic and daiwa firewolf im6 rod
